It seems that everyone is on social media these days, particularly Facebook – even kids and older adults!

But while social media has become a rather helpful tool in getting us connected with a lot of people, not just with family and friends but also with those who are far away from us, whether old friends or strangers.

Yet social media has also become a tool that divided us, a tool that ruined relationships. While it brought us closer to people in faraway places, it has also taken us farther from those who are physically around us.

One wife realized this – and unfriended her husband! And this eventually had a happy ending.

Nicole Joanne Meilat used to be Facebook friends with her husband, much like most couples are. She constantly tagged him in various posts but would soon get hurt when he never liked or commented on any of her posts when he would easily do so on his other Facebook friends’ posts.

Of course, when he realized what she had done, Nicole’s husband tried his best to get her to ‘friend’ him back but she had already made up her mind; amazingly enough, this strengthened their relationship.

With no means to ‘see’ each other on social media, they had longer, better conversations at home.
